ancient sculpture

People believe that during the Mahabharata period, the Pandavas spent some time of their exile here. During that time, Bhima built this temple. Since, Bhima's eldest brother Yudhishthira was also called Dharmaraj, this temple came to be known as Dharmarajeshwar Temple. It is said that there is also a huge cave here, which opens from this temple to Ujjain. The Archaeological Department has closed it.

The sculpture of Buddha Shakyamuni, also known as the Bodhisattva Maitreya, is made of gilded copper alloy.

The ninth-century sculpture of Lord Vishnu was found on March 30 when some labourers were extracting sand from the river Jhelum
